NON - LUOGHI - DI TRANSITO
To re-design, transforming our urban centers, it is first necessary to clash with the trend that wants our cities to approve a model result of globalization, you can not imagine a _Futur Cities without having been aware that our metropolitan cities, especially those of the European Mediterranean region continue to expand their networks of communication and its city limits (suburbs) without any organic idea, just do not take account of the history and cultural layers that characterize them.
... "The stranger lost in a country that does not know - says Augé - is found only in the anonymity of motorways, service stations, department stores or chains" ... thus runs the risk of wiping forever history of our cities, and with it our identity.
In London, Paris, Milan or Rome you walk in the same way: same stores, mimes, vendors of food, machinery for currency change, the sense of loneliness. To feel in a social context we can do is watch the spectacle of others who walk and, in turn, we observe: a show where performers and spectators mingle in a reciprocal and continuous exchange of shares.
At the same time, our cities' museums become enlightened, reserved areas and islands, just as expressways, highways, high-speed trains and highways to get around. "
NOT - PLACES - TRANSIT is their strategy and solution design, right in reversing the trend of so-called non-factory - places.
